“I'm in a secret relationship with Richie Sambora. It's so secret that even he doesn't know about it.”
Bon Jovi fans
“We're about the music. We know everything about each other. We're very close family members.”
Richie Sambora
“For 25 years, Richie has been my right hand - the brother, partner and friend you hope to one day find from the time when you're a kid. I tell people - and I mean this as the highest compliment - you would be lucky to call him your friend. He had the talent and desire that set him apart from the average guy slinging a six-string around. Sure, there are loads of guys who can play. There are lots of guys who can sing. But there is - and only ever will be - one Richie Sambora.”
Jon Bon Jovi
“JON: We wrote the songs for the greatest hits album in Richie's bathroom. RICHIE: It's a big bathroom, so the acoustic is really good. JON: Big bathroom, you're suppose to be a humble guy from New Jersey, so will you stop it, please!”
Jon & Richie (Bon Jovi)
“Jon is an amazing front man. Every night I walk on stage with him and I just go: "Wow, this guy is just amazing!" He can make a place with 70.000 people feel intimate. It's a very special thing. There are not many people who know how to do that.”
“Richie has known me for so long, that I don't have to complete a sentence. I can mumble something and he goes: yes, yes I get it. Sometimes my mind goes a lot quicker than my lips. And he is able to understand what I mean.”
“Seize every opportunity you have to learn. Keep your eyes and ears wide open and seize life. Don’t let the moments slip through your fingers like a fistful of sand. Be your own teacher. Let life write your textbook.”
